Government

The Greater Fool Theory is supposed to be a principle of economics and investing. Who knew that it also applies to Democrats and Republicans? We are facing an economic disaster if the debt ceiling is not raised immediately, and yet the President and Congress play political games.

It will be a rough ride. Seems like our current group of politicians like to take it down to the wire. I wish they would consider what is best for the people of this country instead of what is best for their donkeys or elephants.

The American people elected a divided government so it only makes sense that each side of the debate has to give a little. I agree with Regina, they need to start thinking about what is good for the country and not what is going to get them reelected.

Mark Twain always says it just right and he's definitely a favorite of mine -- as you probably know. As for those AHs in Washington, I don't think I've ever been as disgusted and fed up as I am now -- with both sides! They make me sick at my stomach -- great for weight loss, bad for the brain. We are indeed facing an economic disaster if they don't get their act together and stop the games! Great post, Jack!
